I have a straight nose with a nasal bump. I saw 2 rhinoplasty surgeons, one told me with the removal of the bump I should lift the tip of the nose so it doesn’t hang. The 2nd told me that the angle of my tip is good and doesn’t need to be lifted. My question is, does the nose tip really droop or I can go without having it lifted. I like how my nose tip looks and just want the bump gone.
It is difficult to suggest a procedure to a a pt for Rhinoplasty without reviewing pictures. It is important to note that the nose is a three dimensional figure and, therefore, a change in one plane will usually affect the the other dimensions. Having said that , if you only want the bump off and appreciate the possible shortcomings of only doing that part then you may be able to just take the bump off. Whatever you decide, you should consult with a Board Certified PS with lots of experience performing rhinoplasties. Good luck!
The most important thing is to COMMUNICATE and CONNECT with your surgeon. This is true of any procedure but especially rhinoplasty. From your question, it doesn't sound you are satisfied with either response thus far. Rhinoplasty is an incredibly complex operation where balance and function (breathing) are the most important goals. Sometimes you don't need to LIFT the tip but it is important to support it since altering the bump may unwittingly affect the tip or its appearance. Make sure you feel comfortable about the reasons the specific treatment is being suggested and, although pics can be helpful, it is much easier to fix pixels on a screen than noses! Make sure you are seeing a board certified experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and you feel you can trust. Redos are much more involved than getting it right the first time.
If you like the tip of your nose, there is no need for surgery of the nasal tip. Have the hump removed and be happy!
